+### Routing and Structural Considerations
+
+#### Shear Walls
+
+Shear walls, like those around stairwells and elevator shafts,
+may be routed through with special permission.
+
+#### Post-Tensioned Slabs
+
+> [!example]
+> STRUCTURAL SLAB IS AN 8-INCH THICK
+> UNBONDED POST-TENSIONED TWO-WAY SLAB UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE.
+
+> [!cite] Joel Jansen 2025-08-15, in reference to Belle Meade Plaza, pp.
+> No affect on takeoff. Routing in slab still possible.
+
+#### Pan Deck Slabs
+
+> [!example]
+> STRUCTURAL SLAB IS 3 1/2 INCHES OF NORMALWEIGHT CONCRETE
+> ON 3-INCH COMPOSITE STEEL DECK UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE.
+
+> [!cite] Joel Jansen 2025-08-15, in reference to Belle Meade Plaza, pp.
+> Do not route in slab.
+
+### Formatting
+
+All feeder takeoff descriptions should be prefixed with `<parent> TO <child>`
+
+> [!cite] Joel Jansen, in reference to Omni Hotels Raleigh, pp.
+> It is acceptable to use typicals for identical feeders
+> so long as the typical is in the Feeders `Area`
